If you use several Yandex accounts, you can switch between them without entering your username and password:

You can choose an account in Yandex Disk, Yandex Mail, and other Yandex services that support this feature. The selected account becomes your primary one: it is used to authorize you in services that don't support switching yet.

You can add no more than 15 YandexIDs to the list. To remove an account from the list, switch to that account and follow the Log out link. The current username disappears from the list and you automatically switch to the next one.

To remove multiple accounts from the list, follow Add account, click the icon in the upper left corner and then Log out to the right of the account you want to remove.

Open the account menu in the upper-right corner of the screen and click Log out.

If you forgot to log out of Yandex Disk on someone else's device, open YandexID and click Log out on all devices under Sign in and device history.

The easiest way to do this is using the Yandex Disk desktop program. It supports large amounts of data, pauses and resumes downloads when you have connection problems, and lets you download files via a special folder on your computer.

How to transfer data using the Yandex Disk desktop program:

1. Download files from the cloud to your computer.

2. Install and open the Yandex Disk desktop program.

3. Log in to your Yandex account to transfer files.

4. Drag and drop the files into the program window or the “Yandex Disk” folder on your computer.

5. Wait for the upload to finish.

For more information about the Yandex Disk desktop program, see Yandex Disk for desktop.

Yandex Disk is enabled by default for all Yandex users and can't be disabled. This makes it impossible to delete a Yandex Disk account. But you can remove all files on Yandex Disk and stop using it. In this case, you still can access other Yandex services (for example, Yandex Mail).

If you want to delete the entire Yandex account, read the article Deleting your account. In this case, all of your data across all Yandex services is deleted and you lose access to these services.
